"The pro you referred to me, Robert, was excellent on so many levels. He got 2 heavy sliding closet doors back into working order, put new door knobs into 2 of my homes entry doors, fixed my problematic kitchen sink, and installed a new spigot system and pipes for my bathroom sink. All his work was of high calibre. Robert himself was fully professional, patient, and polite. I also found his prices to be more than fair. I fully plan to have him back for other projects this spring (power washing my house and staining my deck)."
"We have hired Greg for both home and business repairs. In our home, Greg and his team painted the entire interior of our home. We appreciate his detailed work, particularly in prepping our plaster walls in order to work out any imperfections. We also hired Greg to repair a ceiling leak, replace a wood deck, install a railing in our basement, and several other smaller projects. All were performed with the same attentiveness to detail. Furthermore, he and his crew cleaned up nicely at the end of each day. Last and not least, Greg is responsive to calls. In fact a couple weeks ago I called him late in the evening for an emergency job in our business, and he texted back first thing in the morning and stopped by to help me before going to his first appointment. Overall, Greg is a trustworthy and skilled craftsman, who we strongly recommend."
"I can only say great things about JA Drywall. We had quite a complicated chimney repair. From the beginning of the process, this company stood out from all the others. Most companies did not return my calls. One did respond but never showed up to start work. The JA Drywall owner came to our initial appointment on time, evaluated the job and gave us a reasonable and fair estimate. The work crew then came on time and worked really hard for two days to repair the chimney. At each stage they kept us informed of progress. They did a wonderful job, kept the site clean and tidied up once job completed. On top of their excellent work, they are a team of friendly and courteous workers, who also took care of a few other things that needed attention. I would recommend this company to all who are looking for quality work by a friendly team at a reasonable price."
"Pete called and ask what the problem is. he knew right away how to make repairs to my gutter, that was hanging off of my roof. He came with the special brackets, repaired and cleaned the gutter then cleaned the remaining gutters. Pete is coming back for repairs that i know i can trust him with."

It’s possible to make minor repairs yourself on leather furniture, including using patch kits and leather repair kits. For minor leather scratches that haven’t breached the surface, repair kits can work wonders. However, we strongly recommend leaving any extensive leather repair to professionals, including deep scratches, tears, peeling, and reupholstering. These repairs demand experience to get the final product to look professional, and inexperienced DIYers may cause additional damage to the furniture that demands further repairs.
To prevent sagging, consider both the material and the span of the shelf. Using sturdy materials such as plywood or solid wood can provide better support than particleboard.
